10/31Sentences • The best way to find the subject is to find the verb first. • Next, ask “who or what” in front of the verb. • REMEMBER: the subject of a sentence is never in a prepositional phrase. • Practice: • Over the hill horses thundered. • Find the verb: • Who or what ? • Evangeline Booth was General of the International Salvation Army from 1934 to 1939. • Verb: • Who or what ?
Find the subject and the verb: • Have you heard of Nellie Bly, the famous newspaper reporter? • In 1876 Melville Bissell invented the carpet sweeper. • Under her management as corporation president, the company sold millions of carpet sweepers.
A pine-forested area of New Jersey is supposedly haunted by the Jersey Devil. • Oregon is haunted by legends of the less aggressive Bigfoot. • Its shaggy coat of hair looks like a bear’s pelt. • Stories around Lake Champlain tell about a monster resembling a sea serpent in the depths of the lake.

11/8 • Subjects in an unusual position: • Sentences that ask questions • Sentences that begin with the words there or here.
Sentences that ask questions: • Questions often begin with a verb or a verb helper. • They also begin with the words what, when ,where, how or why. • ***The Subject ordinarily follows the verb or verb helper*** • Examples: • How is the movie different? • Does she have a ride home?
You can also find the subject by turning the question into a statement, then asking “who” or “What” before the main verb. • Example: • Was the train late?=The train was late. • [what was late? Train] • Has she answered the letter?
Sentences that begin with There: • ‘There’ is never the subject of a sentence except when spoken of as a word [like in this sentence!] • There can be used to get a sentence started when the real subject comes after the verb. • To find the subject, omit there and ask “who or what?” before the verb.
Examples: • There is a drawbridge over the river. • Omit there • A drawbridge is over the river. • There are insects in our garden. • Omit there • Insects are in our garden. • There was a clerk at the counter.
11/9 • The Understood Subject: • In a request or command (imperative sentence) the subject of the sentence is usually not stated. • In these sentences, the subject is “understood”to be the subject. • Please answer the phone. • Listen carefully to his question, class.
Writing assignment: [put this on loose-leaf to turn in] • Write ten sentences that are requests or commands; include nouns of direct address in 5 of these sentences. Write the understood subject in parentheses after each sentence and underline all nouns of direct address. • EX: • Please turn on the lamp, Henrietta. (you) • Hit the lights. (you)

Read the selection and answer the questions that follow. • Parts of the journey were very difficult. Sometimes the group had to face dangerous rapids. In other cases, however, shallow or rocky waters caused problems. Whenever the waterway became shallow or rocky, or at waterfalls, the boats had to be portaged over land.

Many became sick. Captain Lewis was the expedition's "doctor." He had a bag full of medicines and a knowledge of many helpful plants. When their Shoshoni guide, Sacajawea, grew lethargic, she became so sick that the captains were afraid she would die. Lewis and Clark took turns caring for the young woman.
